This is the Valley of Light,
a section of the Appalachian Mountains
which hugs the New River.

This region also is called the Virginia Highlands,
due to its resemblance to Scotland and the fact that
so many Scottish immigrants settled here.
Previously, the New River valley was the
hunting grounds of the Cherokee.

This blog-site has been set up to facilitate
the building of a sustainable spiritual community.

We welcome everyone who lives in this region
or who is interested in joining the VOL movement to
utilize this site for social networking and planning.

We also will post dates for VOL meetings here and
share the progress we make in reaching our goal:

Creating Community for the Future.
